Safety Instructions

Correct routine maintenance of your new bike will ensure:
Smooth running - Longer lasting components - Safer riding -
Lower running costs
Every time you ride your bicycle, its condition changes. The more you ride, the more frequently
maintenance will be required. We recommend you spend a little time on regular maintenance
tasks. The following schedules are a useful guide. If you require assistance, we recommend you
see a bicycle specialist.
